Russell Edges Leclerc in Azerbaijan FP3

George Russell topped the final practice session at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, beating Ferrari's Charles Leclerc by just 0.013 seconds. The session was marked by two red flags, including a crash for Haas rookie Oliver Bearman, but Russell's late lap was enough to secure the top spot.

Russell's time of 1:42.514 was set on five-lap-old soft tires, despite concerns about his power unit behavior and a precautionary power unit change between practice sessions. Leclerc finished second, with Lando Norris completing the top three.
